Hi Guys

My first post in a while....so back with a typical Vintage Omega 'bang' is a fairly rarely seen piece....a 1963 Railmaster ST135.004:



The Railmaster is a very interesting piece....it uses a faraday cage of soft iron to protect the movement from strong magnetic fields....exactly the same proportions as the 14755 sm300 , but twice as heavy ! Even the dial on these is 1mm thick for added protection and it was produced alongside the early sm300's (2913/14755) & Speedmaster's (2915/2998) and had the reference 2914/135004 (the latter in my case) and was in direct competition against the Rolex Milguass. It was part of a very short production run between 1957 - 1963 (although the Omega was produced in much fewer numbers due to being 'unpopular' at the time) .

This is the 3rd watch of the original Omega ' Masters' series.



It uses a manual wind cal. 286 movement and the Bracelet is an original full length Semi-expandable 7912 with the correct number 6 end pieces all in superb condition.



Anyone familiar with the Caseback of the legendary sm300's will appreciate the subtle difference of text used.



Hope you like it
